I want to ruin the country

Yi Shijie and his wife have been here for more than half a year, and they can understand some simple spoken conversations.

But the complicated ones can't be translated, and Catherine has to translate them.

The same is true for the Martins' Chinese, which is neither more than 25 characters nor less than 25 characters, but exactly 25 characters!

Yi Shijie also has a problem. When he says this, he will unconsciously cross his legs and sit.

When I first sat with Martin and the others, I forced myself to sit upright and serious.

After a long time, your true nature will be revealed unconsciously.

After a long time, they got used to it and Martin and the others didn't care.

Not to mention the sofa, even an ordinary chair below will do.

This made Mr. Martin feel very magical. The Chinese were really interesting. They could squat and even cross their legs. No matter how many times he tried, Mr. Martin couldn't do it.

Yining and his father accompanied their father-in-law to drink tea and chat.

While drinking tea, Mr. Martin winked at Yining, as if asking him if he had brought any good things this time.

Yining said to himself that no matter how much wealth this person has, he cannot suppress his desires.

My father-in-law loves collecting, especially Chinese cultural relics. Just based on this hobby, if he wasn't my father-in-law, Yining would want to kick him a few times first.

Anyway, this time Yining brought him a seal of Lin Zexu.

Last time, Martin asked Yining if he could get him the seals of emperors of all dynasties.

In fact, this request is a piece of cake for Yining, but in the future, those are cultural relics and national treasures. There is no way Yining will be a traitor and sell national treasures away.

Lin Zexu's seals are also national treasures, but now Lin Zexu is still alive, so we can have as many of his seals as we want and we can carve any one we want.

Besides, the emperor and princes and ministers at that time had more than one seal.

Some of them have dozens or hundreds of them, while some have a dozen or twenty.

Some of these seals are names, some are characters, some are pseudonyms, and some may be used on a piece of calligraphy or painting, and the materials are also different.

Yining couldn't lie to his father-in-law either. He asked Lin Zexu for the seal.

The emperor said he liked his seal, so how could Lin Zexu be reluctant to give it to him? Besides, it was not a valuable thing.

However, once this seal fell into Martin's hands, it became a big deal.

Lin Zexu was a very powerful official in the eyes of Westerners.

Why? Because Lin Zexu dared to burn their opium and dared to fight them.

People all admire the strong, so traitors and traitors are looked down upon by their masters, who treat them like dogs!

Since Catherine became pregnant, Mrs. Martin has come here often. A mother loves her daughter, no matter if it is in foreign countries or China, in ancient times or modern times!

Mr. Martin couldn't let go of the seal. He could show off this seal for a while!

What Yining gave to her father was a set of chess pieces made of Hetian jade from the Southern Song Dynasty.

Yi Shijie loves playing chess. Although his chess skills are average, he was still stunned when he saw this chess set.

"Son, how much does this cost!"

Yining Road,

"How would I know, but it's probably several million!"

Upon hearing that it was so valuable, Yi Shijie quickly packed it up and put it away.

Yining gave his mother-in-law and mother a Han Dynasty jade bracelet each, which made Mrs. Martin very happy.

Although she has no shortage of money or jewelry, but she is happy from the bottom of her heart that her son-in-law cares about her, regardless of who gave the gift.

The in-laws have arrived and don't seem to be leaving. Qiao Zhihui said,

"In-laws, let's have lunch here!"

Mr. Martin was pleased.

"Okay, Yi's cooking skills are very good!"

Catherine rolled her eyes at him and said,

"You're addicted to free meals, aren't you?"

Martin said hastily,

"Your mother also wants to eat your mother-in-law's three-fresh dumplings!"

Yi Shijie said,

"You guys sit down, I'll go buy some leeks, let's have a nice drink today!"

"OK, OK!"

Martin and his wife agreed immediately!

Yining asked Catherine,

"Do you feel sick when eating leeks?"

Catherine shook her head.

"I don't know, let's try it!"

After a while, Yi Shijie came back with a lot of things.

Qiao Zhihui and Mrs. Martin were busy making dumplings, while Yi Shijie started preparing the dishes.

Yining saw that Yi Shijie also bought a Texas Braised Chicken, but it was vacuum-packed.

Yining said to himself that the roast chicken he ate over there was really delicious!

Now this vacuum-packed roast chicken may be able to fool foreigners or outsiders, but I guess the locals don’t eat it much!

Yi Shijie was quick and agile, and in a short time he had eight dishes on the table.

Dezhou braised chicken, twice-cooked pork with green garlic, spicy crayfish, sea cucumber with scallions, fried peanuts, steamed sea bass, farmer's stir-fry, and broccoli with garlic.

There was also a simple pot of mutton hotpot in the middle.

Drinking Moutai and eating twice-cooked pork, Mr. Martin gave a thumbs up.

"well!"

Eating and drinking freely like this is what life is all about, comfortable, relaxing and simple.

Catherine was doing particularly well today. She vomited everything she ate a few days ago, but today she actually ate a lot of broccoli and hot pot mutton.

Yining said,

"Honey, please eat less, otherwise it will be even more uncomfortable when you vomit!"

Catherine rolled her eyes.

"I'll eat now if I don't vomit. I'll still eat even if I vomit all over. I'll make you mad!"

Qiao Zhihui said,

“That’s it, eat when you can, and I’ll make you whatever you want anytime!

I vomited when I couldn't hold it in anymore. There was nothing I could do. I just went through this!"

Mrs. Martin said,

"Catherine might have inherited this problem from me. When I was pregnant with her, I was also vomiting all the time!"

Mr. Martin said,

"Yeah, I was really worried at the time, but now I think about it, it was over quickly, wasn't it?"

Catherine glared at him.

"If you can't speak, don't speak. What do you mean it will be over soon? I'll make you vomit fifty times a day and try it!"

Mr. Martin dared not speak, for he was most afraid of his daughter.

When everyone saw this, they realized that this was what they called "tofu dipped in brine" and that one thing can conquer another, and they were all happy!

The most important thing is that at a Chinese dinner party you can drink and chat at the same time.

Moreover, as everyone drank more alcohol, the atmosphere at the dinner table became more and more harmonious and lively, which is something that is not found in foreign dinners.

Foreigners rarely drink alcohol at a family dinner table, and they only drink a little. It is even rarer to see them drunk.

Even fewer people get drunk at social parties and dances. Those are social occasions where people talk about things. What if they get drunk and mess things up?

When foreigners really get drunk, it is when they are alone at home or in a bar, drinking to drown their sorrows. When the wine enters their sorrowful heart, the sorrow becomes even greater. What else can you taste from the wine except bitterness?

After drinking three or two glasses of Moutai, Martin and Yi Shijie were arm in arm.

Foreigners' nerves are similar to those of Chinese people, and most of them get easily excited after drinking.

Martin is such a person!

The two people talked about everything from Britain to China, from the ground to the sky, and from ships to passenger planes.

"My airline is about to update a batch of regional jets and has already started contacting Airbus!"

Yining was stunned and asked,

“How many aircraft do you want to update?”

Martin replied,

"The budget is five billion pounds! About fifty planes!"
